In the darkness, I felt him reaching out, pulling out the hairpin from my bun, throwing it to the ground with a snap, and his long hair immediately dissipated like running water.

His breath blew through several hairs and gently scratched my face, and a tiny itch came.

The next moment, he kissed my lips...

That night, he seemed particularly excited, more excited than ever before, and more striving. Several times I was almost collapsed, but he pressed both hands on his head with force, not allowing me to retreat or dodge at all. And he never said a word for the whole night.

When the heavy breathing sounded in my ears, it carried a breath of beasts.

I finally fainted in the darkness and fell into another deep darkness.

I don’t know how long it took to feel that the crushed limbs and five bodies seemed to be reinstalled, but the pain caused me to frown even though I was still in a coma.

His voice immediately sounded in his ears.

“Lighty?”

“…”

“Light.”

I frowned again, subconsciously trying to hide in the deeper darkness, but his warm big hand had already stroked my face and gently stroked it: "Are you any better?"

The real feeling brought by the ironing of the skin finally made me completely come out of the darkness. My brows twitched slightly, slowly opened my eyes, and saw a room of light. He was sitting by the bed, holding a candlestick in his hand, bent down to look at me. When he saw me opening his eyes, he immediately smiled and said, "You are awake."

“…”

I don't have the strength to speak, nor do I want to speak, and the hot and hot flow in my eyes made me just want to lower my eyelids.

I avoided his gaze, but couldn't avoid his gaze. He looked at me gently, his eyes still stuck between his neck, collarbone, and even the pink traces he left in his ears, before saying with a little satisfied smile: "Get up earlier today. Don't you want to go out for a walk and have some breathing? It's all right today."

“…!”

I looked up at him.

Can you take me out today?

Since I asked him that day that he wanted to go out and was rejected by him for the excuse of "going out in a few days", I kept counting on my fingers. For more than a month, the boat had not yet docked, which proved that Yangzhou had not been captured by him. Because of this danger, he did not allow me to leave the cabin.

But today, he actually promised me that I could go out.

Could it be that Yangzhou has already-

I was still stuck in my chaotic thoughts, and I felt a flash of dark shadows in front of me. He stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around my waist and hugged me. I was so scared that I looked up at him and saw a faint smile in my eyes that were close to me: "Do you really want to see that city?"

“…”

"Get up."

“…”

When I was surrounded by several maids who entered one after another, I served, dressed, washed, dressed up, and then sat at the table, there was a large table full of breakfast. Just like every time in the past, he personally picked up the porridge bowl and scooped a spoonful of porridge and delivered it to my mouth.

The maid standing at the door and the few shaking shadows outside the door were all fixed at this time.

The nervous feeling almost reached me, making my chest feel even more depressed and I almost want to vomit.

But I gritted my teeth and took a bite obediently.

The smile at the corner of his eyes became deeper.

These days, I am so obedient, and I will eat as soon as I eat, and I will drink as much soup. However, although such obedience has made him much more happy, it has not made him relax his vigilance towards me. Since boarding this ship, no pair of eyes staring at me have ever evacuated.

After Wei Tong chewed this breakfast, he finally took me out of the cabin.

As soon as I left this room, I immediately took a long breath.

Outside is a long and somewhat narrow corridor. Perhaps because it is particularly deep, there is almost no natural light here, and it is illuminated by lanterns on both sides. When people walk inside, countless black shadows are projected on the floor and on both sides of the walls, and the shadows are as slim as ghosts.

It gives people a feeling of being unable to get out of it, a maze.

I followed him, and one hand was still tightly grasped by him in his palm. I didn't know how long I had been walking, but finally I saw a little light in front of me.

Unlike the dark light of a lantern, it is the real sunlight!

My heartbeat has accelerated a little.

His speed seemed to be a little slower, but no matter how he slowed down, he finally took me step by step. Just as he stepped out of the cabin door, the sun shone on me all at once. I felt that the invisible bonds on my whole body had dissipated and disappeared. It was not until this time that I finally felt the long-lost, real heartbeat and breathing in my body.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Hearing the sound of my breathing, he stopped and turned around to look at me.

Those eyes looked particularly bright in the sun, like a pool of blue water. Especially when he smiled, the corners of his eyes narrowed, and the pool of clear water rippled layers, as if there was a lot to say.

But, needless to say.

Because I had seen the child walking out on the other side of the deck.

He was still wearing the short clothes he had before, holding them with both hands at a loss in front of him, and was pushed twice with some anxiety. When he turned his head and saw me, he immediately opened his eyes wide.

In those eyes, there was a lot of innocence and confusion.

Behind him were two guards, with swords hanging around his waist and hands on the hilt.

My heart suddenly sank.

Pei Yuanxiu used some strength to pull back my shocked mind. I looked up at him and heard him say gentlely, "Have you seen this child?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..." I looked at him silently without even nodding.

He didn't need my answer, and said with a smile: "I saw him when I was investigating the prisoners that day. He looked familiar. He was still young and was sent to the battlefield, but I think he was obedient and endured hardships, so I kept him working on this boat. If you come out today, he will serve you."

“…”

"If you serve well, of course there will be rewards, but if you serve poorly, you will naturally be punished."

“…”

"If you have any surprises-"

He said, looking over the corner of his eyes.

The child was confused and ignorant, but seemed to have some feelings, shivering slightly, his shoulders were twitching constantly, and he looked at me with wide eyes.

I immediately understood.

Pei Yuanxiu himself knew that it was impossible for him to lock me in that small cabin for the rest of his life in order to prevent me from escaping. I would eventually come out to see people and see the light, but he couldn't believe me. Perhaps in his eyes, even if I gave me a grain of rice, I could make huge waves in the Yangtze River.

Therefore, this child was prepared.

Like those people before, they all exist as tools that threaten me. As long as I am disobedient and as long as I show resistance, someone will die for my willfulness. However, he will also be worried, worried that if I take a gamble, I may gradually become numb, and I will be worried that I will really run away regardless of other people's lives. Then no matter how many people he kills, it will be useless.

So, he prepared a relatively "special" child.

Let him appear beside me and let me notice him inadvertently.

The child has dark skin, broad forehead, thin body, and diligent appearance... Everything was first taken to him.

Even he could tell who this child looked like.

Even he knew that this was the best "handle" for me.

Feeling my hand trembling slightly in his palm, he used some strength to hold my hand tighter, and then whispered: "The battlefield is ruthless, but he is lucky. Originally, the ship was about to be sunk by us at that time, but they gave up resistance, so we grabbed everyone."

“…”

"It's rare that he can survive at such a young age."

“…”

"He is of course trying to survive well now. If he doesn't die during the war, he will die at this time, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"Don't say it!"

I opened my mouth tremblingly, and my shoulders twitched.

He looked down at me, and saw my pale and bloodless face slowly rising from my face.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally took a deep breath: “I understand what you mean.”

He laughed and said softly: "That's good."

After saying that, he winked at the people behind him, and the people immediately took the child to the deck aside. Although he was waiting there, the two guards did not relax their vigilance, obviously still guarding me.

Pei Yuanxiu was already holding my hand: "Don't you want to come out for a walk? Come on, I'll take a walk with you."

“…”

"You can see the scenery, it's good."

“…”

It was not until this time that I finally raised my head and looked ahead.

The scene in front of me immediately surprised me.

There were broken wooden boards, torn canvas everywhere on the river surface, and some that were rising and falling with the river. When I looked closely, I found that it was floating corpses!

Through a layer of water mist, I looked at the north bank of the Yangtze River. The shores there were devastated. From a distance, I could see the water army camps, and there seemed to be some impact. There were many damages. The gantry door was tightly closed, and I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

Although I had known for so long that he had fought with Yangzhou dozens of times, and the situation on both sides of the Yangtze River and on the surface of the river must be bad, but the situation in front of me is no longer bad.
